Controlled Demolition Incorporated is a family-owned company that demolishes bridges, buildings, missiles, and other structures around the world. Their Web site features a breathtaking video of the orchestrated collapse of the Seattle Kingdome. Company head Mark Loizeaux was recently interviewed by New Scientist:

kingdome3(1)"It has to be the right job in the first place, the right explosive, the right pattern of laying the charges, and sometimes, which sounds odd, the right repairs to bring it down as we want, so no one or no other structure is harmed. And by differentially controlling the velocity of failure in different parts of the structure, you can make it walk, you can make it spin, you can make it dance."

Chase Durer Special Forces Underwater
Demolition Team Chrono Reviewed
(Verdict: Beefy)
06/24/2005 04:01 PM

cdface.jpgFriend-of-Gizmodo Scott reviewed his heavy-duty Chase Durer Chronograph, a big, beefy quartz thing that I actually saw on the wrist of Greg Kihn last night. He was one of the contestants of Beat Me Baby One More Time or whatever it's called.

But I digress. This is a quartz chrono with PVD coated body and bracelet. It's water resistant to 1000 feet, meaning you can go diving for the lost treasure of Atlantis. In terms of underwater demolition, however, the watch does not have a remote timer/detonator even though it certainly does look like it should have one.
